GUATEMALA: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE LAND OF THE MAYA

This book invites you to jump on one of the country's brightly painted chicken buses and visit its bustling marketplaces, Mayan monuments, colonial town squares, and whitewashed churches, where baroque Catholic rituals meld with ancient Mayan beliefs to create a unique style of worship. From the incense-shrouded devotional processions of Antigua to raucous festivals in remote highland villages, you are taken on a illuminating ride through the world of an exuberant people and their country.
